Pwrighta1 has it right. Stay in Florida. I am two hours from Lake Talquin and four and one half from lake George. Given equal distance I would Go to Lake George. Large numbers of very large fish. I know I am subject to being stoned. However I like lake George that much. Lake George Information Guide - Florida Lakes Get a good topo map and a decent fishfinder and fish the end of the old piers. Hundred years ago steam ships would on/off load at the piers. The end of the piers were dug deep to accomodate these ship. Find these deep areas and fish them. Good luck.
